Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Were they not able to help you with any of your issues? I keep wondering-after reaching a conclusion from every test that you have neuropathy-do they suggest and try a number of treatments? Would love to know what the Mayo Clinic doctors do to treat the patient. Is everyone alot better after they have been there? Would make an appointment and go there (if accepted (what criteria do they look for to be accepted?) if my neuropathy pain would be
alot better.

I went to Mayo looking for answers. Living over 1000 miles from Mayo in MN, I had no intention of being treated there. If they had a treatment for my PN, I would have established a treatment plan with my neurologist. However, they said for me no cure is available. I'm not a diabetic. They suggested physical therapy would be helpful. Based on what I'm told, a treatment plan can be offered IF the underlying cause of the PN is established. So, you see, that is why I applied at Mayo and was hopeful they would provide the why I have this. I don't know the criteria Mayo uses but I did supply them with copies of every test I had from 2015 to 2019. They did tests to rule things out. For example, I do not have autonomic issues but suggest I have both small and large fiber. Also, suggested perhaps genetic testing would provide answers. I think it is best to look at Mayo as a place to get answers and they might suggest things to help you and follow up with your own doctor. Good luck. Ed
